The guardians in sailor suits return in this definitive edition of the greatest magical girl manga of all time! Featuring an extra-large size, premium paper, and an all-new translation and cover illustrations by creator Naoko Takeuchi!

Teenager Usagi is not the best athlete, she's never gotten good grades, and, well, she's a bit of a crybaby. But when she meets a talking cat, she begins a journey that will teach her she has a well of great strength just beneath the surface and the heart to inspire and stand up for her friends as Sailor Moon! Experience the Sailor Moon manga as never before in these extra-long editions (about 300 pages each).

Well this should be interesting, can't speak for Kodansha's other manga releases lately but the Attack on Titan OADs they recently released with volumes 17-20 were handled very well so I guess we can hope for the best here...and if not then at least hope for better than Flanagan's translations of the previous Moon (1- & V (both) releases.

New translation? Why i have feeling it will make some people angry? I heard there where quite a few complains to Kodansha about how they translated some phrases, personally, i have almost every volume of latest release, and i quite liked it

Luna Crescens

I already have all of the previous release but I'll be definitely double dipping for these since they're including a new English translation. I wasn't too bothered by the original release but I hope they'll fix some of the odd choices they made, like "Princess Beryl-sama." Also glad to see you joined the dark side, Sailor Astera!

Lapis Lunaris

As a Sailor Moon manga collector this is great news; I never thought it wouldn't happen!

Now I'm only waiting for a new art book, all the post 1st edition illustrations that Naoko has been producing over the last decade (new covers, SM Channel illustrations, not to mention those exclusive exhibition illustrations...) deserve to be collected in a nice hardcover edition. :love:

Lumen Cinereum

Here's a question, did any of the Japanese releases include anything new and if not then how about the punch comics that was in the last release (the mini-comic strips that Kodansha USA didn't bring over)?

Lapis Lunaris

January 2018. Hell of a long time to pre-order a book. I'll wait for a listing in Previews.

An all new translation means "translator" William Flanagan shouldn't have his name mentioned like at all. It took Kodansha USA a while to finally get another translator for their 1st set of republished books. I hope there will be color pages this time. I'll re-buy. It will make... how many sets?

Oh god, no. I'd rather not have them. They worked on Negima and I think some of UQ Holder.
It seems like they are Kodansha USA's go-to translators.

What should be done is some sort of survey to see what terms are most popular among fans for key phrases and ones that are accurate and literal to the original work and find an agreement and compromise. And of course, keep colloquial and slang English out of it, keep honorifics, and just make a translation that can't be dated.

I know so little, but at least I know it fluently!
